Establishing a global suicide countermeasures network and developing human resources
One of the strategic endeavors of the Japan Suicide Countermeasures Promotion Center (JSCP) is to actively export its policies overseas, aiming to become a champion of suicide countermeasures globally.
JSCP has been designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre that conducts activities for suicide countermeasures and human resource development.
Specific activities include participation in the mhGAP (Mental Health Gap Action Programme) held at the WHO headquarters, observing other Asian countries (Cambodia, Korea, Vietnam etc.), and taking part in information sharing activities in Europe and the United States.
In this way we work together with the WHO to contribute internationally by promoting suicide countermeasures, whilst also sharing information about our leading projects and their results with the rest of the world. With the goal of being a global champion for suicide countermeasures, JSCP will also continue its activities by not only organising the International Forum on Suicide Prevention Policy, which aims to hold international and academic discussions on policy development, but also through creating international human resource development programs, which is an important mission of WHOCC.
